we_o shall_v soon_o meet_v with_o sir_n dinnaden_fw-ge or_o sir_n dagonet_n at_o a_o dinner_n than_o sir_n lancelot_n du_fw-fr lake_n or_o sir_n trustrum_fw-la de_fw-fr liones_n in_o the_o field_n some_o do_v hold_v that_o among_o knight_n he_o be_v to_o have_v the_o first_o place_n that_o have_v his_o first_o creation_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v labour_v all_o this_o while_n to_o impugn_v for_o what_o a_o disparagement_n be_v this_o that_o a_o man_n that_o be_v first_o by_o birth_n a_o gentleman_n descend_v of_o worthy_a parent_n train_v and_o foster_v up_o from_o his_o very_a infancy_n in_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n that_o be_v of_o able_a revenue_n to_o keep_v hospitality_n and_o to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a sort_n that_o be_v inhabit_v about_o he_o who_o wisdom_n and_o experience_n have_v be_v both_o try_v and_o well_o approve_v in_o his_o love_n and_o service_n show_v aswell_o to_o his_o prince_n as_o to_o his_o country_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v worthy_o dignify_v to_o the_o order_n of_o knighthood_n for_o his_o virtue_n and_o well_o deserve_v another_o that_o be_v but_o base_a by_o birth_n compass_v perhaps_o with_o some_o measur_n of_o wealth_n but_o not_o with_o a_o inch_n of_o wit_n some_o of_o they_o not_o great_o pester_v neither_o with_o wealth_n nor_o wit_n his_o best_a compliment_n a_o little_a pride_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ignorance_n yet_o one_o of_o these_o little_a worthy_a creature_n creep_v into_o a_o knighthood_n whether_o by_o favour_n whether_o by_o fortune_n perhaps_o by_o fraud_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a neither_o by_o merit_n nor_o by_o desert_n shall_v yet_o shoulder_v the_o other_o from_o the_o wall_n because_o he_o have_v his_o creation_n a_o hour_n or_o two_o before_o he_o i_o can_v here_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o chide_v and_o that_o extreme_o but_o especial_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o lady_n i_o mean_v of_o those_o lady_n that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v true_o legitimate_a for_o there_o be_v of_o lady_n as_o there_o be_v of_o knight_n some_o in_o substance_n and_o some_o in_o show_n but_o for_o those_o that_o be_v lady_n aswell_o in_o nature_n as_o by_o name_n i_o reverence_v those_o nay_o i_o honour_v they_o &_o although_o i_o know_v their_o virtuous_a inclination_n to_o be_v more_o ready_a to_o pardon_v then_o willing_a to_o revenge_v yet_o what_o gentle_a spirit_n will_v not_o be_v grieve_v in_o their_o behalf_n to_o see_v a_o base_a bear_v madam_n who_o mother_n will_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v be_v a_o good_a lady_n landres_n and_o yet_o she_o will_v prank_n and_o perch_n yea_o and_o sometime_o contend_v with_o she_o for_o place_n and_o superiority_n that_o have_v have_v her_o better_n to_o attend_v she_o in_o her_o chamber_n i_o do_v once_o know_v one_o of_o these_o female_a kind_n that_o the_o best_a bring_v up_o she_o have_v whilst_o she_o dwell_v with_o she_o own_o mother_n i_o think_v be_v to_o study_v the_o art_n of_o navigation_n she_o have_v daily_o frequent_a among_o sailor_n and_o seafaring_a man_n and_o in_o continuance_n of_o time_n she_o fall_v to_o practice_v the_o jacob_n staff_n and_o i_o dare_v be_v swear_v she_o never_o so_o much_o as_o dreamte_n of_o a_o ladyship_n but_o fortune_n they_o say_v be_v blind_a and_o she_o always_o favour_n fool_n the_o proverb_n may_v be_v true_a for_o we_o have_v some_o knight_n in_o this_o age_n that_o be_v not_o account_v the_o wise_a man_n and_o among_o they_o she_o be_v ladyfy_v and_o very_o short_o after_o that_o she_o be_v number_v in_o this_o society_n to_o become_v a_o fellow_n lady_n she_o begin_v to_o scorn_v this_o excrement_n of_o worm_n this_o satin_n silk_n and_o velvet_n be_v to_o mean_v for_o my_o lady_n wear_v unless_o it_o be_v deck_v guard_a and_o garnish_v with_o the_o mineral_n of_o gold_n silver_n and_o other_o ornament_n of_o more_o pure_a and_o precious_a nature_n martial_a make_v mention_n of_o one_o of_o these_o base_a bear_v brat_n call_v poppeia_n that_o after_o she_o become_v a_o concubine_n to_o nero_n have_v her_o horse_n shod_a with_o pure_a gold_n i_o will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o but_o i_o will_v match_v poppeias_n pride_n with_o as_o base_a bear_v as_o herself_o if_o i_o list_v to_o pick_v out_o precedent_n though_o not_o in_o shoe_v of_o horse_n with_o gold_n yet_o in_o other_o superfluous_a vanity_n no_o less_o nice_a and_o foolish_a than_o that_o but_o let_v they_o pass_v and_o thus_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o ambition_n so_o violent_a as_o that_o of_o the_o beggar_n so_o there_o be_v no_o pride_n to_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o pride_n of_o one_o of_o these_o abject_a creature_n that_o be_v exalt_v &_o lift_v up_o from_o a_o base_a estate_n to_o a_o little_a prosperity_n but_o now_o to_o speak_v of_o knight_n i_o say_v that_o the_o dignity_n be_v at_o the_o beginning_n give_v for_o service_n in_o the_o field_n and_o be_v proper_a only_o to_o martial_a man_n for_o there_o be_v the_o first_o institution_n but_o since_o it_o have_v grow_v by_o custom_n that_o every_o absolute_a prince_n have_v power_n to_o bestow_v that_o dignity_n aswell_o in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n but_o yet_o knight_n be_v of_o the_o more_o or_o less_o reputation_n according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o party_n that_o give_v the_o creation_n for_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o herald_n the_o venetian_a estate_n and_o the_o state_n of_o genoa_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v knight_n and_o so_o do_v the_o pope_n but_o with_o these_o we_o will_v not_o meddle_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o institution_n the_o creation_n be_v perform_v with_o many_o ceremony_n and_o as_o many_o ceremony_n again_o be_v use_v in_o the_o degradation_n of_o a_o knight_n there_o be_v three_o or_o four_o sundry_a order_n of_o knight_n in_o england_n but_o i_o will_v only_o speak_v of_o those_o that_o have_v neither_o garment_n badge_n sign_n nor_o show_n whereby_o to_o be_v know_v from_o other_o ordinary_a gentleman_n but_o by_o the_o addition_n of_o sir_n john_n sir_n thomas_n sir_n richard_n or_o sir_n robert_n by_o which_o note_n they_o be_v better_o know_v among_o ourselves_o than_o they_o be_v to_o stranger_n and_o these_o knight_n be_v call_v by_o the_o herald_n knight_n bachelor_n these_o knight_n be_v make_v either_o by_o the_o king_n himself_o or_o by_o his_o commission_n and_o royal_a authority_n to_o his_o lieutenant_n especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n who_o have_v his_o royal_a and_o absolute_a power_n for_o the_o instant_n this_o order_n be_v give_v upon_o diverse_a consideration_n whereof_o the_o principal_a be_v for_o service_n in_o the_o field_n and_o to_o these_o especial_o belong_v the_o great_a honour_n and_o aught_o to_o take_v the_o first_o place_n for_o i_o have_v know_v and_o i_o have_v sometime_o see_v both_o earl_n &_o baron_n that_o have_v receive_v the_o order_n of_o knighthood_n in_o the_o field_n &_o have_v think_v themselves_o thereby_o to_o be_v dignify_v for_o as_o the_o beauty_n of_o every_o common_a wealth_n consist_v in_o the_o virtue_n of_o their_o nobility_n so_o the_o wing_n of_o true_a nobility_n wherewith_o to_o make_v she_o to_o fly_v high_a be_v the_o deed_n of_o chivalry_n for_o be_v enlighten_v with_o martial_a skill_n it_o make_v he_o to_o shine_v more_o clear_a and_o bright_a in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n the_o dignity_n of_o knighthood_n be_v bestow_v of_o many_o worthy_a gentleman_n who_o for_o their_o wisdom_n and_o ability_n every_o way_n be_v fit_a to_o sway_v &_o govern_v in_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o these_o knight_n be_v worthy_o honour_v &_o be_v so_o to_o be_v repute_v &_o regard_v after_o these_o in_o the_o third_o rank_n let_v they_o march_v in_o god_n name_n who_o the_o prince_n himself_o do_v advance_v perhaps_o in_o hope_n of_o their_o future_a service_n or_o for_o any_o other_o respect_n or_o consideration_n whatsoever_o for_o it_o well_o beseem_v a_o king_n to_o make_v a_o knight_n though_o it_o be_v but_o for_o his_o pleasur_n because_o a_o prince_n may_v give_v he_o maintenance_n to_o hold_v his_o estate_n as_o he_o give_v he_o knighthood_n at_o his_o pleasure_n whither_o any_o substitute_n may_v do_v the_o like_a i_o will_v not_o
